Wir hatten mit Frau Dengler eine herzliche und nette Führung durch die Residenz in München. Frau Dengler war kompetent und wusste auf alle Fragen eine Antwort. Die 90 Minuten waren kurzweilig und bis zum Schluss interessant. Vielen Dank für den tollen Nachmittag. Christine Rötzer und die Frauenunion Haar
